/**
 * Provides a number of unsafe byte operations to be used by advanced applications with high
 * performance requirements. These methods are referred to as "unsafe" due to the fact that they
 * potentially expose the backing buffer of a {@link ByteString} to the application.
 *
 * <p><strong>DISCLAIMER:</strong> The methods in this class should only be called if it is
 * guaranteed that the buffer backing the {@link ByteString} will never change! Mutation of a
 * {@link ByteString} can lead to unexpected and undesirable consequences in your application,
 * and will likely be difficult to debug. Proceed with caution!
 *
 * <p>This can have a number of significant side affects that have
 * spooky-action-at-a-distance-like behavior. In particular, if the bytes value changes out from
 * under a Protocol Buffer:
 * <ul>
 * <li>serialization may throw
 * <li>serialization may succeed but the wrong bytes may be written out
 * <li>messages are no longer threadsafe
 * <li>hashCode may be incorrect
 *   <ul>
 *   <li>can result in a permanent memory leak when used as a key in a long-lived HashMap
 *   <li> the semantics of many programs may be violated if this is the case
 *   </ul>
 * </ul>
 * Each of these issues will occur in parts of the code base that are entirely distinct from the
 * parts of the code base modifying the buffer. In fact, both parts of the code base may be correct
 * - it is the bridging with the unsafe operations that was in error!
